It happened all at once. The attack, the damage, the stupidity. All at once.

Izuku had been walking to the cafe from the library when he ran into his personal annoyance.

"Greetings, Bakugo," He said in a disgusted but formal tone, "It seems we're walking in the same direction yet again."

Bakugo scowled at him before retucking in his pants, "Would you be so kind as to not remind me of these unfortunate events."

"Gladly." Izku said as he straightened his tie.

"Much obliged."

It was always like this between the two, stiff, formal conversation when ever the other was around, double or triple checking to make sure their appearance was perfect, nitpicking over the tone they used, and a very intensive aura. The aura in question could only be picked up by people with extreme danger senses, so the second those two met up, Eraserhead, All Might, Present Mic, Edge Shot, and Gang Orca were on their way. Stupid people could not pick up that aura, so, let's say a slimy, monster like thing was busy trying to find a victim and didn't pick up the aura and decided to attack two people, it wouldn't be good. But, bad things happen to those who don't wait.

A large gurgle erupted from the sewer a few meters behind them, and a slime like thing appeared, "I see two people who could be good meat suites to use!" He began to encircle the two boys, slowly closing in. "Now smile!" He lunged at the the two boys, grabbing them with a slimy tentacle and covering their mouths. Bakugo activated his quirk and tried to blow the villain away from him, but you can't burn a liquid with a mind of it's own. Izuku struggled and called upon the shadows to grab and tear at the slime around him, removing the slime bit by bit, but for every bit he removed twice as much filled it in. "It looks like you two boys will be home late." A new sense of fear enveloped the boys, their attacks tripled in power, no longer afraid of wearing themselves out. "...Can't...late..no..." Bakugo gurgled out. "No....schedule....dad.." Izuku mumbled. Shadow tentacles and explosions the size of small grenades filled the alley, the heroes that were on the way could see the mix of dark and bright quirks flash in the alley from blocks away and doubled their speed.

"Put the children down!" said Ganga Orca, he was the first to arrive, "You're as good as caught."

"Stop using your quirk flashy one! It will do more damage than good." said Edge Shot, and he was right, Izuku could control his tentacles completely, Bakugo could not control where his explosions went. Katsuki saw this and complied, the sooner he got out, the sooner he could get to the cafe before Izuku.

"Aizawa," said Gang Orca seeing that the Erasure hero just arrived, "can you erase the villains quirk?"

Aizawa sighed in 'I've explained this multiple times', "His quirk is a mutation, I can't affect him."

"Well I could-" All Might was cut off by a flying blond that hit him dead center in his chest. While they were discussing, Izuku had wormed a shadow around Bakugo and had thrown him at the largest hero.

"Present Mic!" shouted Izuku in a panic, "use your voice! He's a liquid, you might be able to push him away with the vibrations!"

Present Mic nodded his head and screamed. It was effective in removing the slime away from Izuku almost completely, almost. It had, however, been useful for something else, Backdraft had heard Present Mics scream and showed up.

"YOu!" Izuku yelled, getting slime in his mouth during the process, "use...our....quirk!" The slime flowed into his mouth, slowly suffocating him.

"What can I do? My quirk is useless here." said Backdraft, fully believing that he couldn't do anything.

Bakugo and Aizawa stared at Backdraft in pure surprise. "He's a liquid." Bakugo said, "Your quirk uses water, wash out the liquid, push it away. Your quirk is the most useful one here."

Backdraft nodded his head and began spraying the villain with water, which like Bakugo said, pushed it back, effectively freeing Izuku. Eraserhead rushed forwards and caught the falling greenete. The other heroes rushed in and rounded up the remains of the villain, Aizawa tried to make sure the boys were okay, the key word here is tried.

"I have to go! I'm going to be late!" shouted Bakugo.

"Check him first! He was literally thrown into what should feel like a boulder! His shoulder is dislocated!" Izuku argued.

"No it's not!" Bakugo said as he shoved his shoulder back into place. "His finger is busted from liquidized pressure!"

"No!" Izuku fired back, already wrapping gauze from his backpack around his fingers. "Listen, Eraserhead, other heroes, it's been nice, thanks for saving us, but we have to go."

Eraserhead blinked and the two were gone, how stupid was he to not notice them slowly backing up while they argued?

"AT LEAST TELL US YOUR NAMES FOR LEGAL PURPOSES!" Yelled Gang Orca, his voice carrying through the hollow alleys.

"MIDORIYA IZUKU, NUMBER ONE STUDENT AT ALDERA JUNIOR HIGH."

"BAKUGO KATSUKI, NUMBER ONE STUDENT AT ALDERA JUNIOR HIGH."

"Don't those names sound familiar?" asked Edge Shot.

"Yeah, I feel like I've heard them before..." added Present Mic.

Aizawa sighed, again, "I'll ask Nezu later. As of right now, I want coffee."

"I heard there's a pretty good cat cafe near by," said Gang Orca, "let's go check it out."

Aizawa was planning on going the second he heard 'cat'. Present Mic just wanted to be with his husband.

"TO THE CAT CA-" All might was interrupted again by a punch to the gut, knocking the wind out of him (literally) and turning him into his small fight form.

Aizawa glared from behind him and hissed out an aggressive 'be quiet'.

"Sorry Aizawa." All might said sheepishly, rubbing the back of his neck.

"Let's just go." said Backdraft.
